[Pkg-kbd-devel] Bug#386835: console-setup: fails to configure if locale says C and debian-installer/locale is missing

[Colin Watson]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

If the 'locale' command outputs 'C' and debian-installer/locale is
missing from the debconf database (which is quite possible), then
console-setup will fail to configure. In this case, it would be best for
it to fall back to locale=C. Patch attached.
